This article discusses the beginning of Pakistan's reliance on the nuclear revolution, especially the notion that nuclear-armed states will not go to war with one another. It also argued that this reliance on nuclear deterrence is a response both to Pakistan's security environment and to serious constraints on moving away from nuclear weapons. Hence Pakistan's central problems remains the same as when it first contemplated nuclear weapons: the threat from India, the absence of true allies, a weak state and a weaker economy and few friends in the international system.
